J'aurais Voulu Lyrics in English Françoise Hardy
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song J'aurais Voulu by Françoise Hardy from French to English.
Bouche à demi ouverte
Mouth half open
Elle te souriait
She was smiling at you
Elle semblait offerte
She seemed available
À tous ceux qui passaient
To all those who passed by
Je la trouvais trop belle
I found her too beautiful
J'aurais voulu être elle
I would have liked to be her
Pour que tes yeux me regardent
So that your eyes look at me
Comme ils la regardaient
As they looked at her
Allongée sur la plage
Lying on the beach
Ses longs cheveux défaits
Her long hair undone
Était-elle un mirage
Was she a mirage
Qui soudain t'aveuglait?
That suddenly blinded you?
Je la trouvais trop belle
I found her too beautiful
J'aurais voulu être elle
I would have liked to be her
Pour que tu veuilles de moi
So that you want me
Comme tu la voulais
As you wanted her
Aurais-je fait
Would I have done
De même à ta place?
The same in your place?
Aurais-je tout
Would I have
Quitté à ta place?
Left everything in your place?
Appuyée contre toi
Leaning against you
Heureuse et consentante
Happy and consenting
T'emmenant loin de moi
Taking you away from me
Lointaine, indifférente
Distant, indifferent
Je la trouvais trop belle
I found her too beautiful
J'aurais voulu être elle
I would have liked to be her
Pour te faire autant souffrir
To make you suffer as much
Que je souffrais alors
As I was suffering then
Pour te faire autant souffrir
To make you suffer as much
Que moi je souffre encore
As I still suffer
